2. DESCRIPTION
The handles of the crimping tools are color-coded to
match the color coding of the product to be applied.
The insulation adjustment indicator is used to control
crimp height of the insulation barrel. It can be set at
any of four positions corresponding to insulation
diameter.
Tools also feature a locator, quick take-up trigger, and
color code information.
The CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control
ensures full crimping of the product. Once engaged,
the ratchet will not release until the handles have been
FULLY closed.
3. COLOR AND DOT CODING
Note that tool handles and terminal, splice and cap
insulation are color coded for a given wire range as
listed in Figure 2. Crimp the color coded terminal,
splice or cap in the matching color coded portion of the
tool. For example, when using Hand Tool 59275,
yellow coded PIDG terminals and splices and red
coded pre-insulated seated splices must be crimped in
that portion of tool displaying the red and yellow coded
dots and yellow handle. See Figure 1.
